This exhibition, Collectors’ Stories – Big Pictures and Private Affairs, explores the personal and aesthetic motivations of collectors who are drawn to both large-scale paintings and works that depict intimate, private moments. The show brings together diverse collections, offering insight into how collectors engage with art as both a public statement and a deeply personal experience.

Big Pictures, highlights the collectors’ fascination with monumental works that command space and attention. These paintings, often characterized by their grand scale and dramatic compositions, serve as statements of artistic ambition and collecting as an act of cultural patronage. In contrast, Private Affairs presents paintings that capture intimate moments— quiet interiors, personal relationships, and everyday life. These works emphasize emotional depth, the beauty of fleeting experiences, and the introspective nature of collecting.

By showcasing paintings from various collections, Collectors’ Stories – Big Pictures and Private Affairs not only celebrates individual passion for art but also examines how collecting practices shape and reflect broader cultural and aesthetic trends. Through this lens, the exhibition offers a rich dialogue on the intersections of scale, intimacy, and the personal meanings embedded in collected artworks.
